Akin circulates video of McCaskill saying emissions reduction due to economy is 'good news'

Quote
Missouri Senate candidate Rep. Todd Akin (R) is circulating a 2011 video of Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) describing a reduction in the amount of carbon emissions in their state because of economic struggles as "good news."

The video, which is taken from a speech McCaskill gave to the Georgetown University College Democrats in March 2011, shows the incumbent senator appearing to respond to a question on environmental issues by saying "the good news is our emissions are way down because of the recession."

McCaskill makes clear immediately in the speech that she is not cheering for economic struggles, however, saying "[N]ow I didn't mean really good news ... I was being sarcastic again in the context, but emissions are way down because of unfortunately the lack of economic activity that we have had in the last couple of years."
